Working with an attention to material : Architectural forms as the excitement of making/building/dwelling.

Dwelling.

Rethinking the animate, re-animating thought.

Tim Ingold.

Ingold insists on a flat, continuous and processual ontology of dwelling and becoming.

The Processual Character of Form.

Organic life, as I envisage it, is active rather than reactive, the creative unfolding of an entire field of relations within which beings emerge and take on the forms they do, each in relation to the others. Life is the very process wherein forms are generated and held in place.


For Ingold, there is no environment without the folding and enmeshment that is the process of life. Organisms are not folded in on themselves and surrounded by an 'environment'. Instead organisms are points of growth of environment, and whose relations are rhizoidal; and the environment is better understood as a domain of entanglement.

Edmund de Waal is a maker of objects with imagined histories. (Gopnik,2014:11)
